This sandy pearl balayage by blonde specialist, educator and Moroccanoil® Ambassador Suzi Angelina (@hair.by.suzi) focuses on lift clarity and reflective layering.

Formula B (toner)
Moroccanoil® Color Calypso Demi-Permanent Cream Color 10.12 + 5-volume developer
Steps
1. First, Suzi applied Formula A using her signature zig-zag balayage technique to create diffused lift with built-in dimension. This placement allows brightness to pop while maintaining softness through the blend.
3. After rinsing and towel-drying, Suzi applied Formula B from roots through ends, fully saturating to achieve an even, translucent pearl reflect. She monitored visually and rinsed once the tone reached a sheer, glossy finish, avoiding over-deposit that could mute the shine.
4. To finish, Suzi styled with Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream for softness and control, then added Moroccanoil® Treatment to enhance shine and separation.
